Unreached peoples of Belize

An overview of the country's people groups, focusing on those who still have little or no access to the gospel in their own language and culture.

Overview

Belize is a multiethnic, majority Christian nation with wide religious freedom. Most of the population already has access to the gospel, but some groups remain a prayer priority, certain Maya communities in the south, the more closed off German speaking Mennonite colonies, and minorities such as Indians and Chinese. The main challenge is not a lack of churches, but bringing a living, contextualized witness to the cultures and languages still little reached.
